New member here. Great site, and great tips!

After a couple of years of no fishing, I caught the bug again. I'm starting with local ponds and lakes, hitting Berkeley, Ray Baker, and the Gravel Lakes or whatever they are called in Thornton.. No luck on any of them until today in Thornton. I was standing on the edge of the new pier, and I had just tied on a size 2 hook with a gulp earthworm. Looked over the edge, and there was mama rainbow, all 23 inches of her. I dropped the bait in front of her nose, and that's all she wrote. She was full of eggs, and I let her go. someone else said his father caught a large bow yesterday on power bait.

There's something about watching them strike. Welcome to the site, and back to fishing.

Where were you fishing?

 

[pescado loco]

88th and Colorado. It was our second time fishing that lake. Anybody catch other fish species?

 

[jenedorn]

those kind of new lakes??? is that gravel???is it live bait only or????

 

[pescado loco]

Yes, the new gravel lakes that were opened to the public last year. Bait fishing is allowed. Not a lot of action, but big fish.

There is a pond just north of the Thornton city building, behind Sam's Club, and South of the new Wal-Mart. Right off of I-25, looks like you can only get there by walking on the path. Does it have a name, and has anyone fished it?
